It should work as good, probably better than the 3As. I have a similar sized room and just upgraded from 3As + one 2Wq to 5s (not 5A). The 5s sound better all around and while I haven't played with the low frequency EQ yet they have better bass (deep but not boomy) and are more open sounding. I don't regret it. As Daverz points out eight feet is the minimum listening distance, but you should not have a problem with that.
Vandersteen 5A Speakers
Hello
I currently have a pair of Vandersteen 3A Signatures with a Wadia 381 up front, a Pass X250.5 amp and a Rel B-3 Sub. I am thinking about up-grading to the 5A speakers.
My question is do you think I can get the 5A's to sound proper in a 12 X 16 X 8 foot room???
As of now the 3A's sound fine. I just got the up grade bug and I realy like the Vandersteen sound.
Thanks
